German power metallers Symphorces first album released by Metalblade.
Power metal it is but a very melancholic breed of it thanks to the tasteful keyboard lines although I didn’t find the name of a keyboard player in neither the booklet nor on the CD cover. After checking some sound samples from the first 2 albums on the bands website I come to the conclusion that the band has stepped off the gas and got more melodic as time went by. Guitarist Cedric Dupont is also active in Freedom Call and a link to this band can be found in the double and triple vocal parts on this album. Also comparisons to bands such as Nevermore and Evergrey pop to my mind.
I have no idea how to describe the music differently but I think fans of both power metal as well as more melodic or symphonic styles would really like this album.

PhorcefulAhead doesn’t bore me for one single moment, not even when I played it about 10 times in a row.

Mint condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phorceful Power!,
This in my opinion is how power metal should be played. What a huge and heavy sound. The production is so fat yet crystal clear it will bring you to your knees. Possibly the best production I have ever heard. Not forgetting the songs they are very catchy, melodic, full of great riffs and solos. No happy or silly sounding choruses. The singer Andy B. Frank is simply one of the best out there today reminding me a lot of Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage) but I also hear a little Dirk Thurisch (Angel Dust) and Bruce Dickinson for good measure. He is also the front-man from another excellent band called Brainstorm who are also on the heavier more aggressive side of power metal. Musically Symphorce sounds like a combination of Brainstorm, Nevermore, Iced Earth, and Angel Dust. There is even a bit of an old Megadeth touch to boot. No wonder I like this band so much. Symphorce delivers the goods. Good song writing with modern and mature arrangements. If you are into very heavy/melodic power metal and top-quality musicianship this album is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album.
This is a killer band this album shows they mean business. I just wish the other newer bands sounded this good! m/m/ Great metal force for the new century!
